The studio was really great. It is in the old town, very close to everything that a visitor wants to see. And it its quiet at night and in the afternoon the sun comes into the room :-).
In the studio was everything we needed, from Portwine to tablet - fully equipped. And Hugo gave us a complete introduction about Porto. Next time we come to Porto we will contact Hugo again.

Beoordelingen van andere accommodaties van deze host

Pros: The studio is very well located, ery central, easy to acccess, very modern and well equipped, the owner was very thoughtfull and attentive, all was good there.

Cons: The studio is very small, and not comfortable for 4 people, 2 guests would be very comfortable, but no more, once the sofa is open the space is tight.
The shower is faulty, badly finished, we were unable to shower, we only were only able to use the tap; that needs fixing asap

Hugo is a great host! He waited for us to arrive in the middle of the night. The apartment is beautiful and in a perfect location. We inmediaty felt at home and will definitely book this apartment again the next time we will visit Porto.
I would recommand this apartment to everyone! :)
